If you ask Parallel Systems (www.parallel-systems.co.uk) very nicely they
might send you a free Orcad "Lite" disc. The Orcad Capture on that is free
licence and seems to do most things that the full version does.

Terry,
There is an article at Premier EDA Solutions's site "Migrating data from
OrCAD SDT/386+" that explains all necessary deails:
http://www.eda.co.uk/download/orcadrev2.pdf
Decomp.exe is OrCad's utility - part of OrCad SDT III/IV package.
I'm not sure whether it's available as a standalone software.
It is used to convert OrCad libraries form binary format to ascii.
I still have OrCad IV installed on my computer so I may convert the
library for you - just send it offline.
Some time ago we moved from OrCad IV to Protel and I converted several
old projects.
My experience is that going through OrCad Capture as a "transfer tool"
produces much better results than importing directly from OrCad SDT.
The only problem is that you need an access to OrCad Capture.
I used to have such an access and it was great - it saved me a lot
of post-import cleaning.
